“A society is not just a passing thought in someone’s head: it is an accumulated body of facts- of language, laws, customs, ideas, values, traditions, techniques, and products- all of which are connected to one another and exist in a manner quite “external” to individual human minds. They are in the world before we individuals arrive; the moment we are born, they impose themselves on us; as we grow through childhood, they mold us; in adulthood, they animate and guide us; and, just as surely, in death they survive us.
